No doubts, I'm enjoying flying it, even with the new "attitude"

That thing is smoking too much isn't it??

What to you mean by a "new attitude"?

I think he's refering to the attitude control system and stability augmentation system that's fitted to the 139...

I was actually referring to the aircraft's rearwards CG, which gives it a flat attitude in cruise (weird after years flying nose down), but cptjim's answer was equally valid. :ok:

I/C

Blender,I'm sorry, I just had to clean the camera :}
The new attitude is 7,5º nose up minimum in hover, or more with a full load.

Haha, are you sure? I didn't notice. It looks so real, if you are right, the guy is a bloody good painter!!

In my opinion, I'd rather look at every angle of that AW139, I am not lucky enough to drive that beast yet.

Here are a few shots from my previous job. One of the best co-workers a guy can ask for was called up to fix a crippled squirrel.

Look close at the second shot to find the Astar..

:confused: What do we have here?

Resulted from Nick Lappos being told the only way he could stay ahead of the aircraft was if he was sitting on the pitot tube.;)

hotzenplotz,

SAS has got the right answer but the other version of the story is that, if I'm not mistaken, it's a testbed for the Commanche. It's an S-76 with a FBW Commanche cockpit grafted on to the front of it. One TP sits up front to test the system.

HTH,

B73 :ok:



Edited to add: Just seen another re-run of the 'CyberCopter' doco on Discovery Wings: Mr Lappos was explaining in detail exactly what the 'Shadow' aircraft was intended for. He can certainly give you further details if you require...!

You can see how the red paint work on the helicopter brings out the orange trim on her bikini...

Some pilot's have all the fun.:ok:

Hotzenplotz,

Do you know where they build those little separate compartments, I would like to adapt one of those to my car for when the lady starts nagging . . . .

Blender:

They're built in to the lady at birth.

Another couple of offerings from around the world this month. The R22 image comes from vaqueroaero, and was taken near San Diego. Click on the thumbnail image, and the full size photo will open to be available as your desktop image (the widescreen images are fairly large files, so expect a slow download if you're on a dialup connection):

Belly Tank provided the S64 image from firefighting at Gosford, NSW, earlier this year. The Rural Fire Service contracted this Skycrane:

We are still looking for good hi res photos to be used as calendar backgrounds, please contact me via e mail [email protected] if you have something to be used. I need at least 1280 x 800 for widescreen, and 1024 x 768 for standard.

Thanks :ok:
